Coming attractions: New York turns Broadway into... a cafe-lined boulevard?
August 6, 2008
Spotted on Gothamist: a New York resident has snapped work underway on the new widened sidewalk - I mean pavement - on Broadway:
Says Gothamist:
Between 42nd Street and Herald Square, four lanes of Broadway will go down to two lanes--and a bicycle lane and pedestrian walkway, complete with seating, tables, umbrellas and flower-filled planters, will emerge by August 15
Sounds pretty good. New Yorkers will have adopted a relaxed, continental attitude to life before you can say 'bof'...
